Chapter 168 Cold–hearted
Chil’s prcent actions weren’t particrly discreet, with a bit of investigation, one could easily uncover them. Sylviasat in her office, engrossed in her work, while Juliet held a tablet, scrolling through the news updates. She chuckled, then sighed involuntarily.
The contrast was striking, prompting Syhia to nce <b>at </b>him more than once. What was he looking at today? He had been here for almost two hours without even intending to report to her. The documents were neatly arranged on his desk, already dealt with. Yet, he seemed oblivious to the fact that they needed to be taken elsewhere,
“What are you up to? I’ve nearly finished my work, and here you are,ughing and crying. You <b>don’t </b>seem quite yourself,<b>” </b>Sylvia inquired.
Hearing Sylvia’s words, Juliet finally set down her tablet, approaching Sylvia with a joyful expression.
“It’s Cyril and Karina. You must see this. After thest banquet, Karina was rushed to the hospital. It’s been days, and the word is her pregnancy is in jeopardy <b>Cyril </b>merely Instructed <b>Karina’s </b>assistant to handle it. Rumors are spreading like wildfire, and it’s even made headlines. Men, tell <b>you</b>, can be incredibly <b>callous</b>. I never thought he could be so heartless.”
Juliet truly hadn’t anticipated this turn of events<b>. </b>Given their intimate knowledge of Cyril <b>and </b>Karina’s affair, one would expect Cyril to show more concern, especially since Karina was carrying his child Instead, Katina was left alone in the hospital to tend to her pregnancy.
“If I were in her shoes, I’d never keep the child. When the father doesn’t care, what difference does the mother’s concern make? The child’s future looks bleak,” Juliet remarked.
<b>Regardless</b>, the birth of a child should ideally be <b>a </b><b>joyous </b>asion both parents eagerly anticipate. Yet, this child’s arrival seemed more like an ident. Karina saw the child merely <b>as </b><b>a </b>means to secure her position, while Cyril showed no interest. Thus, one could easily predict the child’s fate once born.
Sylvia paused briefly, speakong frankly, “Tarina’s actions don’t warrant sympathy.”
However, the <b>child </b>in Karina’s womb was indeed innocent. Faced with such circumstances, it was hard to determine who to me.
“What are your thoughts<b>?</b>” Sylvia asked, puzzled by Juliet’s statement The child wasn’t theirs, so why did it matter what they thought<b>? </b><b>Shouldn’t </b>Cyril and Karina’s opinions take precedence?
“I didn’t <b>give </b>it much thought. The other day, the host messaged me, asking if we could start over. I don’t understand his intentions. He seems to believe there’s a chance t

reconcile.
“And what did you do?!
“Thad our legal team file awsuit against him.”
What else <b>could </b>she do? Dealing with someone who only brought trouble upon themselves called for decisive action. She had already stated before, they could choose one of two options. Since she didn’t want either, she acted ording to her own will.
*Fair enough. It’s about time someone dealt with him. Speaking of matters, Miles has been on your brother’s mindtely. He’s constantly calling
calling him and even went golfing with him today.”
Bruce’s social standing no longer required him to invest much time inworking. Most people approached him for coboration, and he simply had <b>to </b>select who to work with However, Bruce’s recent initiative to golf with Miles was surprising.
“He went golfing with Miles?” Sylvia was genuinely unaware of this development, feeling utterly astonished.
Sylvia had a clear idea of Bruce’s intentions. He likely sought this opportunity to get to know Miles better. However, Sylvia couldn’t fathom why he would prioritize such matters over work. Shouldn’t he focus on resolving work–rted issues first instead of ying gol!?
Sylvia was at a loss for words.
“That’s not <b>the </b>point. The point is, why dad Bruce go golfing <b>with </b>Miles? They have no significant ties. Even if they’re discussing potential business ventures, golfing seems unnecessary. So, what’s really going on between you and Miles? Given Bruce’s intense reaction, it must be rted to you. What’s the connection between you and Miles?”
Juliet’s eyes sparkled with curiosity, genuinely intrigued by the unfolding events. In just two <b>or </b>three days, the situation had escted to the point where even Sylvia couldn’t decipher it
She needed to inquire further to understand the situation fully,
Sylvia <b>felt </b>a headacheing on. Not only did she not know how to exin Bruce’s actions to Miles, but now Juliet was fixated on the issue, leaving her unsure how to proceed
“I have nothing to do with Miles. I merely saved him once in F country, <b>as </b>you know. Additionally, at the banquet, he assisted me with a minor issue. I made a casual joke with my brother, but it seems he took it seriously. It <b>was </b>all in jest.”
Had Syda know this would happen, she would never have made such a joke. Now that things had escted, it was truly a headache–inducing situation
“Your brother’s concem isn’t entirely unfounded. After all, Miles <b>has </b>a son, albeit not his biological one. If there’s anything between you two, you’d essentially be a stepmother. Bruce certainly wouldn’t want that for you”
“We haven’t reached that point yet. You both are overthinking this. I made a joke, just a joke. It’s not right to cause someone unnecessary distress. Moreover, it we ever need to
in the future, who would handle it? It’s quite awkward”
Sylvia couldn’t help bait feel exasperated Her harmless jolor <b>had </b>been blown out of proportion. How would she Lace Miles in the future!
